What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new probiotic, CLB101™️, which could improve gut health for people with obesity. The probiotic aims to boost butyrate levels, a beneficial compound that can strengthen the gut lining and support immune health. The study compares CLB101™️ with a placebo (a substance with no active ingredients) to determine its effect on digestive issues like abdominal pain and bloating. Individuals with moderate to severe digestive symptoms and a BMI over 27 might be suitable candidates. Participants must avoid other probiotics during the study. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to contribute to groundbreaking research on gut health and obesity.

Is there any evidence suggesting that CLB101™️ is likely to be safe for humans?

Studies have shown that CLB101 is generally safe for humans. A group of scientific experts has reviewed the research and granted this probiotic a self-affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status, confirming its safety. CLB101 is also designed to produce butyrate, a natural substance in the gut that strengthens the gut lining and supports immune health.

Although specific side effects are not detailed, the GRAS status suggests that CLB101 is well-tolerated. This assurance is important for those considering joining a trial, as safety remains a top priority in its development.12345

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Unlike the standard treatments for obesity that often focus on diet, exercise, or medications to suppress appetite or block fat absorption, CLB101 is unique because it targets gut health directly. Researchers are excited about CLB101 because it introduces a novel approach by potentially altering gut microbiota, which may play a crucial role in managing obesity. By focusing on gut health, CLB101 could offer a new pathway to help people with obesity, potentially leading to more effective and sustainable weight management solutions.

What evidence suggests that CLB101™️ might be an effective treatment for gut health in obesity?

Research shows that CLB101, a new type of probiotic, produces butyrate directly in the gut. Butyrate strengthens the gut lining, supports the immune system, and maintains bacterial balance. Studies have found that probiotics producing butyrate can address digestive problems at their source. Additionally, probiotics like CLB101 may help reduce body weight, waist size, and body fat. These findings suggest that CLB101, which participants in this trial may receive, could improve gut health in people with obesity.16789
